New and Important Opinions of Pulmo-

/ sumption BE Successfully Treatede
| DR.. Borgeon, leading French doctor,
| has a new treatment for consumption!
He gives an enema of carbolic acid and
| sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part Of
the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at effects
tine cause remains undiSturbeG.
| w hat this cause Is has been stated by per-
hapS the highest pulmonary authority in
| the world, i. e, the Brompton Hospital for
Consumptives, in London Eng
| This malady every year carries of from
one-seventh to one-ffth of the entire popu-
| lation of England!
| DR.. Payne, NJ. D., NJ K c. P, London, is
| authority for this statement.
| The same or a greater proportion OF
| deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one-haf the
! total number of deaths from ell other causes
| have seeds of this disease in the system
| which only require some irrItant TO developl
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent Ger
| man authority, says that consumption IS
caused by deficient nutrition OF the lungs,
| by poor blood.
These authorities can not be disputed.
/ The medical world recognizes them. The
| uric acid IS the irritant in the blood that
| causes the development Of the seeds which
| DR.. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
| Every particle of blood which passes
| through the lungs and heart. also goes
| through the kidneys, and If they are IN the
least deranged they can not rid the blood
| of its killing poison The thousand little
| hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys very
| easily get blocked up and diseased; and
/ when they do, they corrupt instead Of pu-
| rifying the blood. Kidney disease may ex-
ist, and yet no pain occur in that organ,
| because 1t is deficient in nerves of sensa-
| ton.
| Dip your finger in acid every day and it
soon testers and is DESTROYED Send acid
or
| second, and they soon give way
| The Brompton Hospital investigation
| showed that 50 per cent. of the victims Of
| consumption were afflicted with deranged
| kidneys, which permitted the uric acid
| poison to remain in the blood and irritate
| the lungs. This uric acid is always fight
ing every vital organ, and If there be any
| inherent weakness in the lungs 1t inevita-
| bly, causes pneumonia, cough and consump-
| ton.
| The real cause of pulmonary troubles be-
| ing SO authorItatlvely shown to be faulty
even though unSuSpected action Of the kid
neys, explains why, in order to master the
| dreaded consumption, one must rid the
| blood Of the uric acid i-ritant which in
flames and burns up the lung substance.
! For this purpose there is nothing equal to
| that great specific, Warmers safe cure.
! This remedy has now the favor Of medical
men all over the world purely on its mer-
| its. We have no doubt that if the kidneys
are kept in natural action consumption
| and q great many other diseases, caused
| by uric acid, viii not only be cured but
| will be prevented
When the kidney is healthy, no albumen
| appears in the water, but albumen IS found
| in the water of more than half of those
who die of consumption!
This, then, is the condition of things
that always precedes consumption: First,
weakened kidneys; second, retained uric
acid, poisoning the blood: third, the de-
velopment CT disease in the lungs by the
irritant acids passing through them. Then
there is q little cough il the morning;
soon thick, yellow matter is spit up, fol-
lowed BY loss of flesh and strength, with
dreadful night sweats; and when the pa
tent goes to his school physician for help,
he is put on cod liver oil which his
stomach, weakened also by uric acid in the
blood, can not digest. Because there is no
pain present in the kidneys, the patient
does not think they are affected, but the
| kidney acid is doing its work every
minute, every hour, day and night, and
by-and-hv the disease Of the lungs has ad-
vanced until pus is developed, then come
nennorrhages, and at last the CLASSY stare
which denotes that the end is near.
A p0st-morteu1 examination of such
cases shows that the terrible uric acid has
completely destroyed the substance Of the
lung.
1t is impossible to cure lung disease when
the blood IS poisoned with uric acid
